Higby Mountain, Mountain summit in Connecticut, US.
Higby Mountain rises 272 meters above sea level, featuring steep cliffs that extend for 2 miles along the Quinnipiac River valley in Connecticut.
The mountain formed during the Triassic Period, 200 million years ago, when lava flows solidified into thick basalt layers during North America's separation from Africa.
The Mattabesett Trail system crosses Higby Mountain, connecting multiple natural areas and providing recreational opportunities for Connecticut residents.
Two trailheads grant access to the mountain: one near Route 66 at the southern end and another at the northern section via Miner Street.
The mountain's geological structure creates specific microclimates that support plant species reaching the geographical limits of their natural range.
